and from now on, shall be addressed as IT ...Miss Boxer is pathetic.
If i had to speak before this bitch i would carry a spitcan and everytime i addressed her i would say yes, senator, and then spit before i continued.
Boxer never earned the title of ‘ma’am, so Brigadier General Michael Walsh, was actually being overly polite. Boxer was more opposed to the title of Brigadier General Michael Walsh, so decided to knock him down a notch. After all, a Brigadier General, is a lowly soldier to her.
In case “Senator” Boxer doesn’t know (and it’s obvious she doesn’t), a Brigadier General actually earned his title whereas a Senator is only elected, she hasn’t “earned” jack.
I’d like to meet Senator Boxer personally. I’d tell her she works for me, not the other way around and I was going to do everything in my power to send her back to “Mrs.” status.
“Senator, we’re going to fire your sorry ass”.
and from now on, shall be addressed as IT ...Did Boxer call him by his title “Brigadier General” or was it just “General”? After all, he earned that title!
“Surely there is a joke here somewhere.”
Yes there is. Unfortunately, the joke is on us.
Well isn’t that just special. Our “Royalty” instructing us common folk on the proper way to address them. I hope I never sit before her, because I’d call her a lot of things, but none of them would be senator.

He should have said Yes, Senator, and you can refer to me as Brigadier General Michael Walsh, It’s just a thing. I EARNED that title. I’d appreciate it
That would have shut her grotesque reconstructed trap.
He should have responded “Yes Mam”!
What a pompous display of ill breeding and poor judgement. Boxer is an embarrassment to any woman of achievement. Now, unfortunately, people around the world can see this.
She and the other dems appear so angry. Why? They have what they wanted. Do they not know how to enjoy it? Or is it turning out to be not what they expected?
I went to a university where Ph.D.s were referred to as Mrs./Mrs./Ms, whichever applied. It was a matter of pride not to be called Dr.; that was left for MDs. Not sure if it’s still that way or not, but I always liked it.
I don’t really have a problem with a Doctor asking to be called Doctor instead of “Mrs.”, so long as they do it politely, realising that the people they are talking to probably don’t know they are doctors.
Boxer should have known that the military uses “ma’am” and “sir” as honorifics. So if she was uncomfortable with it, she should have found a more polite way to ask “I know that you use “ma’am” as an honorific, but would you mind calling me Senator — I always think “ma’am” is my mother”.
She would have gotten her message across, the General would ahve called her “Senator”, and she wouldn’t have looked like an idiot.
My, my, looks like her insecurity is showing. The Brigadier General was addressing her with respect, but the silly cow has her head too far up her bum to realize that. (No disrespect to cows intended.)
I hope she’s catching hell for this from people calling her office and emailing her.
Unfortunately, people like her dismiss criticism instead of learning from it.
Many people of short physical stature have a need to power over others.
I used to work for a man many years ago who was very short. He had the legs of the chairs in his office cut short, so that he in his chair, which was raised as high as it would go, would appear higher.
He also had a sofa in his office, and the legs of that sofa were completely removed so people who sat in it would appear shorter than he did.
Because I’m a tall guy, whenever I’d go into his office to ask him for something I needed to do my job, I always knelt down in front of his desk so I’d be eyeball to eyeball with him rather than towering over him. I tracked my in-office requests over a couple of years, and my requests were approved by more than a 50:1 ratio when I knelt down.
It seems bizarre to me today that I did that, but I REALLY wanted to do my job well, and the only way I could do that was by getting those requests, which usually meant spending his money, approved.
